LOGO-L> Why Basic, Pascal, etc.

I'm not a teacher, which may well be why I don't know the answer to the
following question:

In what significant educational way do Basic, Hypercard, Pascal, and the
other languages taught in K-12 compensate for deficiencies in Logo?

In other words, why not teach Logo in all thirteen grades and just ignore the
other languages?

I realize that posting this question on Logo-L may be a little like asking
the Daughters of the Confederacy whether Yankees have any saving graces.
